Program defining win.

Come on Patriots. Finish it!

I don't think GCM has ever beaten Nederland in a boys playoff game/series in any sport. Today would be a great day to change that.

Ok. That's more like it.

Glad I can't see it at this point.

That YouTube link is a bust.

I'm gonna try this one. [Hidden Content]

No broadcast?

Yes. Hs son and mine were also about the same age. We stayed in contact when he left for Stafford. (I also worked the clock at his games while he was here.) We did not teach in the same department. He was a wonderful man with a great family.

Coach Priest was a good man. I loved working with him.

RSS has not made the basketball playoffs since 1988. Sadly enough, the coach of that team and the founding father of Ranger Basketball passed away on Wednesday. Coach Woody Walker retired after his teams district championship in 1988. The court at RSS now bears his name.

That guy passed on the Sterling job.

I believe they are mostly seniors.

Just like the football program, it's time for basketball to take the next step and win a playoff game. Being the 2 seed will help, but it's not time to relax.

Congratulations to Coach Haymon on his 1st season as GCM's head coach. GCM wins 13th straight, holds off Ball Goose Creek Memorial's boys held on for a 60-55 road win at Galveston Ball Wednesday and in doing so wrapped a number of firsts. Avant Coleman (19 points), Devin Figueroa (15 points) and Sam Bradford (15 points) led the Patriots who are 21-3 overall, for the program's best winning percentage in history. The 14-2 district record includes a second-place finish, bi-district playoff spot and the most such wins in school history. The victory was also the program's 13th straight to mark the longest winning streak in program history. GCM, which is ranked 24th, is also celebrating its first ever state ranking.

Lots of places closer than Port Arthur.

No, I knew the location was accurate, I just hope we did not pass on a closer location for the game. That's a trek on a Thursday night.

I hope you're wrong about that.

We are being told same say but 7:00 PM at Port Arthur Memorial High School Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the gate.

Congratulations. This means Baytown Sterling will play United in Rd1 of the playoffs.

Of GCM's 2 district losses, La Porte is one and Manvel is the other. They are playing pretty well right now. I look for them to even the score with La Porte at home.

From what I have seen the past two years, yes. Very bright future. He's also a great young man.

I have not been to many games this year. GCM looks pretty legit. They have some length and some guys that can shoot from the perimeter. Bradford is a stud. Not as big bodied as the Manvel kid, but he is much more athletic. Also hits his FT's.

Yes. Got him in foul trouble.

Final Manvel 68 GCM 79 GCM hands Manvel their first district loss and only their second loss of the year. GCM is 15-3 overall and 8-2 in district.
